Description

Health and safety remains a significant concern of the UK construction industry which still records very high levels of accidents and fatalities relative to its turnover and total number of workers. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) has been one of the main instruments to drive change in the management of health of safety in the UK construction industry. In its most recent revision CDM 2015, a new role of Principal Designer has been created to place responsibility for the coordination of health and safety on the shoulders of designers, who previously only had design responsibilities.

There is a perception that the CDM 2015 Regulations have not made significant impact on the health and safety concerns of the industry. This is reinforced by a recent publication in Construction Manager of research that reports an increase in cost to projects with limited improvements in health and safety outcomes.

Join Prof. Rudi Klein (Chief Exec. of the SEC Group), experts from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and safety practitioners across the construction industry to share experience of best practice in discharging the CDM Principal Designer duties. This workshop will facilitate the benchmarking of current practice and provide the insight required by design firms, safety practitioners, Association for Project Safety, International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM), as well as the HSE, to improve on CDM compliance and ultimately health and safety outcomes.
